It really does not make any sense that the looting is going on 24/7 and yet the fiscus is not getting even a single dollar from this bounty!<br /><br />In 2012 Mugabe alone pocketed as much as $ 2 billion from his share of the plunder; that constitutes 50% of the regime’s budgeted national annual expenditure. No wonder Mugabe’s wife has already started her shameless vote-buying campaign for the 2018 elections and if that fails there is no doubt the regime will once again unleash wanton violence as it did in 2008. <br /><br />So instead of the diamonds and other resources being used for the good of the nation they are now a curse to the nation. Mugabe will shed the lives of many innocent Zimbabweans before he is finally forced to give up his dictatorial powers; the price of allowing the dictatorship to continue is that millions will suffering in abject poverty and despair; that is the grime political reality! <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-83304180645585156322015-11-26T16:31:49.143-08:002015-11-26T16:31:49.143-08:00Ever since the rigged July 2013 elections most Zim...Ever since the rigged July 2013 elections most Zimbabweans switched off and gone into the usual sulk. They are hiding under the usual excuse of "we cannot change anything anywhere so why bother!" The worsen economic situation will force them to abandon their false comfort zone and vote blindly in a desperate huff! <br /><br />If Zimbabweans do not wake up by early next year then all is lot; we are set for a repeat of the 2008 elections!Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-90917712121385874142015-11-26T16:15:17.334-08:002015-11-26T16:15:17.334-08:00@ Patrick

If the people had been as smart as they should be then they would have realized it was a foolish move because Mugabe was able to bribe Tsvangirai and thus stay in power. <br /><br />It would be very foolish for this nation to elect someone as corrupt and incompetent as Tsvangirai ever again; it would be unforgivable folly to elect Tsvangirai again. How someone like Vince even considered someone like Tsvangirai or Mujuru a potential leader beggars belief!<br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.com
